The new DJI RS 3 Pro gimbal weighs up to 4.5 kg (10 lbs) with the same new features as the RS 3 plus longer arms for larger cameras, a LiDAR focus system, and a DJI broadcast system. And a variety of accessories and mounting options. All gimbals are now available at a starting price of 549 euros or 575 dollars, equivalent to 2,110 AED.
Chinese tech giant DJI announced a bunch of new things today. In this article, I'll focus on two of the new one-handed hubs - the DJI RS 3 and RS 3 Pro. Another new product, DJI transmissions is covered in a separate article, so be sure to check that out as well. Now, let's dive into the gimbals, shall we?
This gimbal weighs 1.3 kg (2.8 lbs) while the tested payload capacity is just under 3 kg (6.6 lbs). DJI claims that the RS 3 has a third-generation stabilization algorithm that provides a 20% improvement in performance over the RSC 2. This should make it easier to shoot at low angles, while running, or when shooting from a moving vehicle.
The new DJI gimbal now has automatic hub locks that automatically unlock all arms after powering the machine on. The so-called SuperSmooth mode should help stabilize lenses with a focal length of 100mm. Tapping the power button once will put the device to sleep, making it faster to turn the device on, hide it away, and go. There is also no need to repeatedly balance position memory via the quick release panels.
In addition, the addition of a Bluetooth shutter button supports automatic connection without the need to connect a control cable to the camera.
DJI RS 3 Pro Gimbal Longer Arms and LiDAR Focus System
DJI claims to have redesigned the gimbal arms and used a single piece uncut carbon fiber to keep the weight down and the gimbal sticks stronger. It is now also longer to easily accommodate cameras such as the Sony FX6, Canon C70 and RED Komodo. The new gimbal RS 3 Pro weighs 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) with a tested payload capacity of 4.5 kg (10 lb), the same as the RS 2. Just like the RS 3, the Pro version also features automatic hub locks, a Bluetooth shutter button and an OLED touchscreen. 1.8 inch gimbal mode switch.
The good news is that, like the Ronin 4D, the DJI RS 3 Pro supports LiDAR rangefinding to equip manual lenses with autofocus capability. According to DJI, the LiDAR system displays 43,200 range points within a 14-meter indoor area to provide an accurate 3D map of the autofocus. In addition, the range finder has a built-in 30mm camera that enables ActiveTrack Pro to identify and track a sensitive target.
With a dual RSA/NATO port and battery port, the Gimbal RS 3 Pro can connect to many accessories, such as the new briefcase handle, dual Twist Grip, and tethered control handle. The RS 3 Pro will also work well with DJI's broadcast system, as the screen acts as a motion controller for the hub.
